Rickshaw Bagworks Lightweight iPad 2 Messenger Bag

Rickshaw Bagworks, the San Francisco maker of messenger bags, computer sleeves and the Dodo Murse, has come out with its iPad 2 bag. It is much like Rickshaw?s Zero Messenger, only it has a padded sleeve at the front into which you can slip a naked or clothed iPad 2 (or iPad 1).

I have used the Zero Messenger in Performance Tweed fabric, so let me describe it. The Tweed is a dual-layer fabric made from recycled polyester, and it is quite ridiculously light. The fabric is thing and flexible enough to form itself to your shape, making in comfortable to wear right up until you stuff it far too full, and the bag is pretty much one big sack with a couple pockets at the front (one full length pocket divided vertically by stitching).

Closure is by velcro, and there are horizontal velcro strips running inside for attaching accessories (pockets and so on). The shoulder strap is somewhere in feel between soft seatbelt webbing and the too-stiff material used by Tumbuk2, and can be cinched up for cycling with a cam clamp. There are D-rings for attaching a cross strap.

I stand over six feet tall, and I?d appreciate a little extra length in the strap, but otherwise the light weight, comfy strap and generous interior make this a good everyday bag.

The iPad version is almost exactly the same, but is narrower, taller and has the padded section behind the front pockets.

The 10 x 11.25 x 3.75 inch bag weighs one pound, and costs $75. The medium messenger is $60 and weighs 1.25 pounds (and you can always just toss in an iPad in its own case). Available now.
